Those are
little coconut oil clumps.
Not exact matches
I actually like the
little crunchy pieces of
coconut oil, but for those trying to hide the texture, the trick is to melt the
coconut oil until it is just barely melted an add slowly as the smoothie is already being blended so it emulsifies in and doesn't
clump.
I also like my crust a
little sweet, so I drizzled in a touch of honey.Lastly, I had some trouble getting it to «
clump» into dough (made the mistake of melting my
coconut oil, and the addition of the honey may have affected it too), so I added a few
little pats of frozen butter to bind it up.
1/3 c. olive or vegetable
oil (I actually like to use
coconut oil instead, me not Elise) 1 c. granulated sugar 3 eggs 2 tsp almond extract 1 tsp pur vanilla extract 3 1/4 cups all - purpose unbleached flour 1 Tbsp baking powder Zest of two oranges 3/4 c. dried cranberries 1/2 c. white chocolate chips Dust the cranberries and chocolate chips with a
little of the dry mixture before folding into the dough to prevent
clumping and sticking.
Quick question on this one though - I made it in a food processor and added a
little extra cacao, and suddenly it seized up on me and became thick and kind of gritty, with the
coconut oil separating from the mixture... what did I do wrong??? Granted, it still tasted pretty darn delish as the
clumps were basically honey and cacao, but still...??? Thanks!
True,
coconut oil does solidify when cold, and just might form stubborn
little clumps when added to cold drinks, but you just need to outsmart it.
